The top photo is of my Dad, chilling on the couch at home.
The bottom one is of Younger Brother, bunny hopping on his BMX bike on the street in front of our house.
I consider my home town to be Monroe, Louisiana. I went to Neville High School there, and also my first degree is an Associate of Arts Degree from Northeast Louisiana University (now the University of Louisiana - Monroe).
When I was in high school, I was a photographer on the yearbook staff. I learned black and white darkroom techniques and developed photos for the yearbook at school.
Later, when I was in college the first time, in the early 1980s, I took a couple of B&W photography classes for fun. These two photos are scans of B&W negatives from one of my college photography classes.
Taken around 1982-1983. Canon AE-1, 50mm f1.8 lens, Tri-X.
